March 9, 200521 yr QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Mar 4, 2005 -> 07:37 PM) Valentin -- '96(58) -- He's not ours, but there was a Jose Valentin listed at catcher That's Jose's little brother. He changed his name from Jose to Javier probably after he came to the realization that his parents are some serious dumbf***s, a la George Foreman (George named all of his sons George). Either that, or he just wanted to avoid confusion.
March 11, 200521 yr 37. BRIAN ANDERSON, of, White Sox Scouting Report "He's Jeremy Reed with a lot more power potential. He made the White Sox realize that Reed was expendable." --NL scout

March 11, 200521 yr Pretty good. I thought he was better than Reed, but if I mentioned that I would get flamed.
March 11, 200521 yr Yes you would. Ever since that trade, people have been holding on to Jeremy reed's nuts for dear life.

March 12, 200521 yr QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Mar 11, 2005 -> 05:56 PM) That is just so wrong. Yet so true. People have already annointed him a HOF and the best leadoff hitter ever.
March 12, 200521 yr No one really mentions Miquel Olivo in that trade anymore. I always liked him and still wish him and Reed the best of luck.
March 12, 200521 yr IMO Olivo's arm ranks in the top 3 among catchers in major league baseball. Maybe even the best now that pudge is off the juice.

No -- but he's gonna be one hell of a leadoff hitter/number two up in Seattle. I like Freddy and all, but I can't honestly say that I don't wish Reed still wasn't with the Sox...
March 13, 200521 yr Reed is going to really have it good this year too.... hitting after Ichiro and than after you theirs guys like Beltre, Sexson, and Boone..... he going to get some good pitches to hit.
March 13, 200521 yr Reed's still a rookie though and he'll have his struggles. He'll be a solid player though. Think Erstad upside wise with obviously a better OBP.

Think Erstad upside wise with obviously a better OBP. Hopefully he doesn't become as injury prone as Erstad is though. He reminds me a lot of a better version of Rusty Greer.
March 13, 200521 yr QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Mar 13, 2005 -> 02:18 AM) Rusty Greer was pretty good when he is healthy i dont know about that one. Rusty seemed to just KILL the Sox. I've never looked up stats on it, but I hated to see that guy come up in a clutch situation.
